i enjoyed this novel tremendously! its gorgeously written (and translated) and sucks the reader deeply into a slow rush of drunken summertime-sadness while feeling deep sympathy for the main character. i recommend reading it on vacation, or as a summer read in general; i actually devoured it on my italy trip.
